Say it with us: In order to be there for your family, you have to be there for yourself. Now, we get that understanding this and executing this are two very different things. There aren’t always enough hours in the day. What’s more, carving out time for yourself, however small, can feel like you’re taking time away from your family. But you can’t ride a bike with a flat tire. In other words, we’re all stressed and overwhelmed these days, but it’s not possible to be the person your kids and your partner need you to be if you’re not caring for yourself. Therefore, it’s important to spend a little time every day attending to your mental and physical health. Why? Simple: Finding — no, making — the time to go for a walk, work on a hobby, establish a better relationship with your phone, push yourself, or make yourself sweat can lead to a better, more available you.
